Genre: Adventure
Platform: Windows PC
Release Date: November 1, 2011
Note: This review was originally published June 13, 2013
Although To The Moon is curiously satisfying, the simplicity offers little depth as an adventure game. Freebird Games, the same indie developer behind the game Quintessence: The Blighted Venom, offers another uniquely narrative-styled adventure game proclaiming to be a mix of sci-fi, tragicomedy and psychological genres.
The premise is creative: there exists a technology that allows you to alter and generate memories to fulfill your last wish or desire at the cost of your life. This process is only offered to those on their death beds because the mind cannot come to terms with this new manufactured reality and the patients die, but with a perception of their lives as fulfilling those wishes. What last wish is so overwhelming that though you could not achieve it through your life, you are willing to completely alter your memories to achieve it? To The Moon is about Johnny, his final wish and your journey to piece together his life story.
The theme here is to create a simplistic yet immersive experience. The control scheme uses the mouse for left-click navigation through the world with a limited amount of exploration. Right-clicking brings up the inventory and menu screens. Certain environmental elements can be inspected or interacted with and are usually highlighted for the gamer's attention. For the most part, the game is heavily narrative-driven and you will spend most of your time reading the dialogue boxes above each of the character's heads. You traverse through the games levels by collecting bits of memories to unlock objects that hold sentimental value to Johnny and transport you to yet earlier stages of the main character's life.
To The Moon has the styling of a classic 2D 16-bit RPG, but I would advise the player to enter windowed mode via ALT+ENTER to really appreciate the novelty of the graphics, as full screen real estate on most monitors does not do this game justice. The dialogue is all text-driven, so emphasis and emotions are displayed using various text-formatting techniques. Most importantly, the sound track is enjoyable and feels paired well with the story. The music is composed on piano and can be purchased separately if you find it to your liking.
I did find the puzzles easily solvable but at times had some difficulty discerning the graphical puzzle elements from the background because of contrast issues. The puzzles are all of the same type, with just a slight increase in difficulty as you progress farther into the game. In all honesty, I feel the puzzles are an afterthought thrown in to give the player something extra to do, and they distract from the experience as a whole. The inventory screen is not necessary and any additional value added to the story with the collectibles could have been included in the game by other means.
There were a few times when it appeared I could click on story elements between scene transitions, and other times when it seemed cursor graphics didn't load for a scene properly. For example, youll typically have feet show up for the cursor for traversing different map areas or going up and down stairs, but every so often you'll have an hourglass instead.
If you are interested in narrative story interaction then To The Moon is worth your time to experience. It doesn't take itself too seriously, with a few small parodies and comic throwbacks to other games; however, To The Moon does manage to pass along the sense of satisfaction from having just finished a good book.
I would recommend this game if you are looking for a unique way to experience a good story, but it certainly lacks in significant comparisons to most adventure genre games. I insist you try it out for a full hour for free yourself -- it's available on the Freebird Games website -- and give this indie developer a chance to prove to you that his story is worth your time.

Cambodia Diving & Marine Conservation Project - January 2013
In January, the volunteers surveyed 31 seahorse sites. We continued to monitor reef sites as well as continuously training new volunteers. The playground wall was completed and construction on the playground itself has begun. The volunteers were all very excited about this and were motivated for the work to continue. Work also started on an incinerator for the village. The windy weather has kept the volunteers busy with beach cleans.
Conservation Projects
Seahorse Surveys
This month we have expanded the survey area to include an extra 150 survey sites. The volunteers have been spotting seahorses here and are very excited about exploring the area further. Calmer weather has also made practice surveys and training dives much more effective.
All new volunteers were trained in seahorse identification and survey methods. Once fully trained, they can then help to train other volunteers as well as survey, which most people like to be very involved in.
Reef Surveys
We are continuing to survey each of the reef sites in an effort to build up a database for this season and compare fish and invertebrate populations and substrate composition. We hope to compare this data with past information to determine the long term effects of sustainable fishing methods and the community fishing area. Some long-term volunteers hope to closely study fish populations in particular.
Clean Ups
The prolonged wind meant the volunteers were doing daily clean ups around the beach, village and project. The group would often be split to cover more area in a day and several volunteers took the initiative to do a beach clean on their own when they saw it was needed.
Community Projects
Our teaching volunteer Eileen worked together with Anita to revamp the school. Eileen wanted to implement some more structure to the class while Anita's teaching experience came in handy. Together they were able to establish set class times and ensure the kids were getting the most out of the allocated time slots. Extra volunteers were giving some kids one-on-one classes to give them more attention and help in the specific areas they required.
Community Playground
The playground was up and running again this month with the end of the rain. Mark, our building volunteer, used his experience and expertise to help us with the surrounding wall. This was completed by the hard working volunteers, with 2500 bricks set in place. 15 support posts were also put in place this month so we can start February by moving sand into the playground.
Community Incinerator
We have just commenced work on an incinerator for the village. The volunteers have exercised their muscles the past week by unloading 4000 bricks, 17 bags of cement, 35 rice bags full of rocks, and 120 bags of sand. Some more experienced volunteers are keen to help out with the brick work and rendering and even happy to help out over the weekend. We hope to encourage the village to dispose of their waste in a more environmentally friendly way.
Other stuff…
We helped a lot of volunteers celebrate their birthdays this month. Ranging from trivia to dress up parties we helped everyone celebrate. We also had some movie nights where volunteers watched a documentary on seahorses and helped them better understand the global population decline and why we are doing the work we are. It helped motivate the volunteers further.

'Happy Hippy"
Happy Hippy Boutique creates 'good vibes' in WindhamBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
September 15. 2013 4:42PM
WINDHAM — "Happy hippy" Angela Overman has a lot to smile about these days.
The Derry resident, who worked as a software engineer for more than 15 years, said she realized a lifelong dream when she opened her Windham business, The Happy Hippy Boutique, last month.
Growing tired of working for other people, Overman said she's excited about her life's latest venture.
"This is something I've been thinking about for a long time," Overman said recently as she sat behind the counter of her 11 Rockingham Road shop.
The retail store features a variety of handcrafted items and gifts, including scarves, hats, toys, jewelry, candles, soaps, incense, fine art pieces and smoking accessories.
Overman said all of her merchandise is either made in the U .S. or imported from fair trade merchants.
"We're a culture and community-focused store," she said. "Our mission here is to foster good vibes, love, peace and happiness."
During a recent visit to the store, Overman's own hand lathed wooden bowls and cooking utensils were among the products offered for sale.
Overman's husband, James, collects the wood while hiking at various locations around the state.
The store also features paintings by Nashua artist Samina Iqbal and handmade hula hoops by Salem's Janelle Hughes, owner of Hoop Love.
Hughes, who teaches lessons on hula-hooping techniques and creates her own hand-taped hoops, was present to demonstrate her craft to customers attending Overman's open house two weekends ago.
She said it was the perfect opportunity to give folks a little taste of the latest fitness trend.
Iqbal, who has been "drawing and painting for as long as she can remember," said she was excited to share her works with the Windham community.
Overman said she definitely plans to feature some additional local merchants' wares in her store on a consignment basis.
The Happy Hippy Boutique is open Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The store is closed on Mondays.

Nephrops norvegicus has been assessed as Least Concern. This is a widespread species that is found in commercial quantities throughout its range. It is commercially harvested as a food source throughout its range and while stocks are in decline in some parts of its range, stocks appear to be stable in the northern fisheries which constitute the greater proportion of the population.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This is a widely distributed species ranging from Iceland, the Faroes and Norway in the north of its range, to the Atlantic coast of Morocco in the south including the west and central region of the Mediterranean. It is, however, absent from the eastern Mediterranean, the Baltic Sea, the Bosphorus and the Black Sea (Holthuis 1991).

|FAO Marine Fishing Areas:
Atlantic – northeast; Atlantic – eastern central; Mediterranean and Black Sea
|Additional data:

|This species is found in commercial quantities throughout much of its range. Landings of this species have steadily increased since the 1950s from around 10,000 tonnes, to around 50-70,000 tonnes in the 2000s (FAO 2010).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|The species spends much of its time inside burrows constructed in muddy substrates. Emergence behaviour varies with depth and is related to light levels and other external factors. Adults are opportunistic predators and scavengers feeding on a range of benthic invertebrates. Reproductive frequency depends on latitude, varying from annual cycles in the southern part of the range to biennial cycles in the northern part. Spawning occurs in late summer or early autumn and ovigerous females remain in their burrows until the eggs hatch in late winter or early spring. Larvae are planktonic and settle in muddy substrates after 3-7 weeks (M. Bell pers. comm. 2010). Although specimens can reach up to 24 cm in length, this species is normally found between 10-20 cm in size (Holthuis 1991). Age at first maturity is thought to be around 2-3 years (Froglia and Gramitto 1981, Orsi Relini et al. 1998).
|Use and Trade:
|This species is commercially harvested as a human food source throughout much of its range.
|Major Threat(s):
The greatest threat to this species is the commercial scale harvest for human food across its range. The largest fishing grounds for this species occur in the North Sea, the West of Scotland and the Irish Sea. It is also taken in the Bay of Biscay, the Iberian coast, Moroccan coast, Western and Eastern Mediterranean, and the Adriatic but in much smaller quantities (Bell, Redant and Tuck 2006).
Levels of fishery exploitation vary widely between individual stocks (Bell, Redant and Tuck 2006). ICES assessments indicate that many of the stocks with a long history of exploitation in the North Sea, to the west of Scotland and in the Irish and Celtic Seas, are fully exploited in terms of yield per recruit, but stock levels are relatively stable and with no evidence of recruitment declines (ICES 2003, 2004). New fisheries have developed over recent years on some large offshore stocks in the North Sea (notably the Fladen Ground and Norwegian Deeps) and there appears to be scope for further increases in fishing pressure on these grounds. In contrast. there have been declines in stock abundance in some southern areas, including the Bay of Biscay and, particularly, Atlantic shelf edge grounds around the Iberian peninsula, but it is not clear that recruitment declines have resulted from overexploitation (M. Bell pers. comm. 2010).
Trawling is the primary method of fishing. Vulnerability to trawling is strongly related to burrow emergence behaviour, and in areas where much of the fishing occurs in winter (e.g. the Farn Deeps grounds) there is a lower fishing mortality of females owing to the non-emergence of ovigerous individuals. Small creel fisheries also occur, notably in sea lochs in the west of Scotland. This is considered a more sustainable method of fishing than trawling, although there are concerns that larger numbers of ovigerous females are taken in creels (M. Bell pers. comm. 2010).
|Conservation Actions:
There are a number of species-specific conservation measures in place to regulate the fishery of this species. Management strategies include: minimum legal sizes for harvest; restrictions on fishing gear type type and mesh size; total allowable catch limits (TAC) (Bell, Redant and Tuck 2006).

The world journeys into the Green Age and renews old themes. Chapters of political history grow thick with the value that accrues from whatever.
So it was and ever shall be, for better and worse. Biblical enterprises valued gold, frankincense and myrrh. Explorers in the Age of Discovery sought gold and silver fit for royal heads and sought trade routes to faraway lands of spices and silk.
The Ottoman Empire took control of Constantinople in 1453 and blocked European ventures. Access was cut off to North Africa and the Red Sea – important trade routes to the Far East.
Recent trade wars revolve around oil riches. Now comes the Green Age with its computers, energy efficiency and renewable energy, about to give "black gold" a run for its money.
Breaking News! Sept. 22, 2010 - Hong Kong: Fishing skirmish in disputed waters worsens, China halts export of rare earths to Japan.
Rare earths are the latest resources to roil world politics. The Green Age comes of age.
"Rare earth" is its own category of 17 elements. "Rare" in the name implies scarcity, but denotes a set of traits.
The tag is an artifact of history tied to chemical behavior and atomic order.
The unfamiliar atoms work wonders in copious high-tech products, from wind and solar power to lasers and TV screens. Hybrid cars and wind turbines get more efficient by using strong lightweight magnets that need the rare earth element, neodymium. Batteries in the Prius need lanthanum.
Compact discs use dysprosium. Lasers use praseodymium, samarium and europium, among others. Indium boosts the capacity of solar panels, though new materials are on the horizon. LEDs and cell phones call for rare earths. The picture grows clear.
It looks the same in the military. Rare earths are used in rangefinders on tanks, sonar systems for ships and subs, control vanes on smart bombs and missile guidance motors.
China now mines 93 percent of the world's rare earth materials and is the world's source for 99 percent of some of the most prized rare earths, selling for several hundred dollars a pound.
The Green Age, like the environment itself, is a curious weaving of many threads.
Major deposits of rare earths also are found outside of China. Mountain Pass, Calif., not far from Las Vegas, has a notable history in mining the minerals. The rich ore deposit was discovered by two uranium prospectors in 1949.
The nuclear hunters found the site while tracking the high radiation from thorium, radium and uranium.
Geochemistry settles radioactive minerals in with rare earth ores, which makes problems in processing rare earths. Mills risk leaks of radiation and disposing of radioactive thorium is difficult and costly.
Molybdenum Corp. of America began extracting rare earths at Mountain Pass in 1952. Production grew and dominated the world market from the 1960s to the 1980s.
Problems grew, too. Between 1984 and 1998, some 60 spills left radioactive wastes on the desert floor near the Nevada border. The spills amounted to 600,000 gallons, for which fines and settlements totaled $1.4 million. The Mountain Pass mine closed in 2002, and plans now to reopen in 2011. The mine closed for a sum of reasons.
One was prices for rare earths were driven down when the Bayan Obo mine opened in China in the mid-1980s. Bayan Obo has a wider variety of rare earths than Mountain Pass, especially the more desired ones on the heavy end. The U.S. mine's environmental problems also contributed.
New technologies are cleaner and more efficient. The change they bring is a lens for seeing the things that stay the same. The age-old puzzles of human nature and resources persist.

Copyright 2010 by Frederick M. Seiler
When David Harriman was studying physics at Berkeley, he noticed an interesting contrast:
In my physics lab course, I learned how to determine the atomic structure of crystals by means of x-ray diffraction and how to identify subatomic particles by analyzing bubble-chamber photographs. In my philosophy of science course, on the other hand, I was taught by a world-renowned professor (Paul Feyerabend) that there is no such thing as scientific method and that physicists have no better claim to knowledge than voodoo priests. I knew little about epistemology [the philosophy of knowledge] at the time, but I could not help noticing that it was the physicists, not the voodoo priests, who had made possible the life-promoting technology we enjoy today.
Harriman noticed the enormous gulf between science as it is successfully practiced and science as is it described by post-Kantian philosophers such as Feyerabend, who are totally unable to explain the spectacular achievements of modern science.
Harriman's book Logical Leap: Induction in Physics attempts to bridge this gap between philosophy and science by providing a philosophical explanation of how scientists actually discover things. A physicist and physics teacher by trade, he worked with philosopher Leonard Peikoff to understand the process of induction in physics, and this book is a result of their collaboration.
Induction is one of the two types of logical argument; the other type is deduction. First described by Aristotle, deduction covers arguments like the following: (1) All men are mortal. (2) Socrates is a man. (3) Therefore, Socrates is mortal. Deductive arguments start with generalizations ("All men are mortal.") and apply them to specific instances ("Socrates"). Deductive logic is well understood, but it relies on the truth of the generalizations in order to yield true conclusions.
So how do we make the correct generalizations? This is the subject of the other branch of logic—induction—and it is obviously much more difficult than deduction. How can we ever be justified in reasoning from a limited number of observations to a sweeping statement that refers to an unlimited number of objects? In answering this question Harriman presents an original theory of induction, and he shows how it is supported by key developments in the history of physics.
The first chapter presents the philosophical foundations of the theory, which builds directly on the theory of concepts developed by Ayn Rand. Unfortunately for the general reader, Harriman assumes familiarity with Rand's theory of knowledge, including her views of concepts as open-ended, knowledge as hierarchical, certainty as contextual, perceptions as self-evident, and arbitrary ideas as invalid. Those unfamiliar with these ideas may find this section to be confusing. But the good news is that those readers can then proceed to the following chapters, which flesh out the theory and show how it applies to key developments in the history of physics (and the related fields of astronomy and chemistry). These chapters do a wonderful job at bringing together the physics and the philosophy, clarifying both in the process.
Harriman argues that as concepts form a hierarchy, generalizations form a hierarchy as well; more abstract generalizations rest on simpler, more direct ones, relying ultimately on a rock-solid base of "first-level" generalizations which are directly, perceptually obvious, such as the toddler's grasp of the fact that "pushed balls roll." First-level generalizations are formed from our direct experiences, in which the open-ended nature of concepts leads to generalizations. Higher-level generalizations are formed based on lower-level ones, using Mill's Methods of Agreement and Difference to identify causal connections, while taking into account the entirety of one's context of knowledge.
Ayn Rand held that because of the hierarchical nature of our knowledge, it is possible to take any valid idea (no matter how advanced), and identify its hierarchical roots, i.e. the more primitive, lower-level ideas on which it rests, tracing these ideas all the way back to directly observable phenomena. Rand used the word "reduction" to refer to this process. In a particularly interesting discussion, Harriman shows how the process of reduction can be applied to the idea that "light travels in straight lines," identifying such earlier ideas as the concept "shadow" and finally the first-level generalization "walls resist hammering hands."
Harriman's discussion of the experimental method starts with a description of Galileo's experiments with pendulums. Galileo initially noticed that the period of a pendulum's swing seems to be the same for different swing amplitudes, so he decided to accurately measure this time period to see if it is really true. Concluding that the period is indeed constant, he then did further experiments. He selectively varied the weight and material of the pendulum's bob, and the length of the pendulum. This led him to the discovery that a pendulum's length is proportional to the square of its period. Harriman notes the experiments that Galileo did not perform:
He saw no need to vary every known property of the pendulum and look for a possible effect on the period. For example, he did not systematically vary the color, temperature, or smell of the pendulum bob; he did not investigate whether it made a difference if the pendulum arm is made of cotton twine or silk thread. Based on everyday observation, he had a vast prescientific context of knowledge that was sufficient to eliminate such factors as irrelevant. To call such knowledge "prescientific" is not to cast doubt on its objectivity; such lower-level generalizations are acquired by the implicit use of the same methods that the scientist uses deliberately and systematically, and they are equally valid.
One powerful tool for avoiding nonproductive speculations in science is Ayn Rand's concept of the arbitrary, and Harriman brilliantly clarifies this idea in the section on Newton's optical experiments. An arbitrary idea is one for which there is no evidence; it is an idea put forth based solely on whim or faith. Rand held that an arbitrary idea cannot be valid even as a possibility; in order to say "it is possible," one needs to have evidence (which can consist of either direct observations or reasoning based on observations).
Newton began his research on colors with a wide range of observations, which led him to his famous and brilliant experiments with prisms. Harriman presents the chain of reasoning and experimentation which led Newton to conclude that white light consists of a mixture of all of the colors, which are separated by refraction.
Isaac Newton said that he "framed no hypotheses," and here he was referring to his rejection of the arbitrary. When Descartes claimed—without any evidence—that light consists of rotating particles with the speed of rotation determining the color; and when Robert Hooke claimed—without any evidence—that white light consists of a symmetrical wave pulse, which results in colors when the wave becomes distorted; these ideas were totally arbitrary, and they deserved to be thrown out without further consideration: "Newton understood that to accept an arbitrary idea—even as a mere possibility that merits consideration—undercuts all of one's knowledge. It is impossible to establish any truth if one regards as valid the procedure of manufacturing contrary 'possibilities' out of thin air." This rejection of the arbitrary may be expressed in a positive form: Scientists should be focused on reality, and only on reality.
After discussing the rise of experimentation in physics, Harriman turns to the Copernican revolution, the astronomical discoveries of Galileo and Kepler, and the grand synthesis of Newton's laws of motion and of universal gravitation. But this reviewer found the most historically interesting chapter to be the one about the atomic theory of matter; this chapter is a cautionary tale about the lack of objective standards for evaluating theories. This story then leads to Harriman proposing a set of specific criteria of proof for scientific theories.
The final, concluding chapter addresses several broader issues, including why mathematics is fundamental to the science of physics, how the science of philosophy is different than physics, and finally, how modern physics has gone down the wrong path due to the lack of a proper theory of induction.
So, with the publication of Logical Leap, has the age-old "problem of induction" now been solved? On this issue, the reader must judge for himself. What is clear to this reviewer is that Harriman has presented an insightful, thought-provoking and powerful new theory about how scientists discover the laws of nature.

John Maounis marked the trail for you
The Chesapeake Bay is not any old park. When is the last time you saw a park that was entirely on the water?
When John Maounis started work as superintendent at the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay office seven years ago, he had never seen such a thing either. His job was to find the best way for the National Park Service to be a part of Bay protection.
Maounis was no stranger to parks. He'd worked at parks and historic sites across the country, including the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, the Thomas Edison National Historic Park in New Jersey and the Frederick Law Olmstead National Historic Site in Massachusetts. But now he had a real challenge.
People from all over the nation and world come to the Chesapeake to experience nature: The sulfur smell during a marsh's low tide; osprey dancing through the sky and diving for fish; blue crabs scuttling along the soft seafloor and along oyster reefs; old cypress swamps watching the flow of time. Close as the Chesapeake is to big major cities, it remains a place you can feel away from it all.
One goal for the Park Service was to bring people out on the water and into the natural world.
The Chesapeake is also rich with culture and history, and that was Maounis' expertise.
"Most of my career has been involved with cultural values and cultural resources, and that is something we bring here: people, heritage, recreation; the sense that there are many values to the Chesapeake," he said.
The Chesapeake Bay has seen hundreds of years of American Indian history; the voyage of Captain John Smith; the origins of the Underground Railroad; and the rise and fall of the oyster fishery. Its story encompasses the stories of the many who came before us here, shaping the Bay.
History and culture came to Maounis' rescue in his Chesapeake assignment. His time at the Chesapeake Bay Office overlapped the quadricentennial of Captain John Smith's voyages in the early 1600s,.
How could the National Park Service celebrate the Chesapeake's iconic landscapes, meaningful history, and deep culture?
Through a National Trail.
But the Chesapeake is a Bay — so it had to be a water trail.
Thus, the nation's first entirely aquatic National Historic Trail was designated — the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail — but not before a huge effort by the National Park Service and partners to find the support and stories.
Maounis, his staff and partner organizations embarked on a large-scale support-raising campaign — visiting places throughout the watershed that had stories to share; making connections with communities and individuals waiting to have their stories told; and finding ways to tie these all together into a cohesive tale.
That tale includes the Bay, its rivers, river corridors, its history, culture, and landscapes.
"This effort is not limited to wagon-ruts," Maounis says. You get a real sense of history and heritage that is broader and, therefore, richer and more meaningful than just the places these people went."
Along with the trail has come a greater effor to conserve landscape, create a community of stewardship and engage young people.
Looking back, Maounis sees he has helped create an identity for the National Park Service in the Chesapeake. The Service is able to bring groups together to celebrate, share, and protect the many values embodied within the Chesapeake: "And that means preserving stories, preserving places, preserving heritage," he says.
As he prepared to retire, Maounis gazed out a window onto the Severn River. He called these years his "most rewarding because of the place, because of the partners and because of the evolving momentum."
Here the trail Captain John Smith broke and John Maounis marked continues to grow and capture new audiences with new geotrails, apps, public access point, connecting trails and stories to be told and discovered.

Daily Links, Oct. 21: We're still here! (Rapture edition)
Despite Harold Camping's do-over predictions that since the world didn't end on May 21 it would end today, October 21, all of us at U.S. Catholic are still here. These links are coming to you late in the day because I didn't want to go an write them if the world was going to explode or anything like that.
Has anyone you know been raptured? If so, let's hope they made sure to appoint a "religious power of attorney" before leaving this earth.
If Camping is wrong and we all happen to wake up tomorrow, a useful tool for predicting the nearness of the Rapture is this handy Rapture Index calculator.

School choice a tricky equation
The desirability and logistics of multiple high school options are being debated, but with preliminary numbers starting to come in from a fact-finding committee, the answer to the very first question the proposal must pass is starting to become clearer: Can other schools provide room for all of Hooksett�s students?
The idea, which was first forwarded by the local activist group Higher Education Lifts People (HELP), involves signing contracts with several area schools to take a portion of the town�s students, allowing parents a greater choice of where their students may attend high school. Until now, the idea was largely theoretical, debated for its abstract merits and flaws.
The preliminary numbers put forward by the Hooksett School Board�s High School Options and Opportunities Committee, however, now offer a few concrete scenarios.
Hooksett currently has 686 high school students. Preliminary projections for the future high school population, based on the district�s long-range plan, put that number between 608 and 632, with a number as high as 832 also mentioned.
According to the committee�s preliminary findings, Pinkerton Academy can take all of Hooksett�s students; Bow High School can take 50 to 60 if Dunbarton�s students move there (as the two towns are discussing), or 160 if they don�t; Goffstown High School can take �about 200� if Dunbarton leaves for Bow, and �likely� none if not; Londonderry High School can take 300 students �and possibly more in subsequent years,� as the size of Londonderry�s lower grades are dropping. Bedford High School is out, having little interest in a contract. Concord High School has yet to offer any numbers, but Superintendent Christine Rath said the district is �very interested.� Pembroke has yet to fully respond to inquiries.
At first glance, the fact that Pinkerton can take all of Hooksett�s students seems to answer the question: Pinkerton, which has been the frontrunner for sometime as the town�s best single-school option, could simply take whatever load the other school�s could not sustain.
Seeking a deal with Pinkerton to receive a portion of Hooksett�s students, however, may prove trickier than with other schools. Pinkerton�s board of trustees is composed of what are called �member towns� � towns which send all of its students to the school and help to govern it. Should Hooksett send all of its students to Pinkerton, it in turn would become a member town.
Otherwise, however, Pink-erton limits to 75 the number of nonmember town students. In the last two years, member towns were asked to increase the number of non-member students attending Pinkerton. When the request went to the voters, however, the Derry board members rejected the increase.
Hooksett, in other words, would have to make a special arrangement with the town. Pinkerton has not made a firm statement one way or the other on the question, but noted that they were perfectly willing to discuss the idea.
�We would look forward to any conversation they wanted to have about that,� said Public Relations Director at Pinkerton, Chip Underhill. �Any options Hooksett would like to pursue, including those, can be brought to the table and we�ll see if we can find a way to make it work.�
Given this, the two committee members from the board, Trisha Korkosz and Michael Dubisz, have both expressed doubts about the multi-school option based on the preliminary numbers.
Should such a deal not be possible to strike with Pinkerton, however, is the multi-school option still viable? Taking Pinkerton, Concord and Pembroke out of the equation means Hooksett, if it contracted with the remaining districts, would have either about 460 or 560 slots available to it between the two or three schools, depending on Dunbarton �not enough, in other words, to make the multi-school option plausible.
What has School Board member David Pearl optimistic, however, is the phrase attached to Londonderry�s number: �and possibly more in subsequent years.�
�The thing to watch,� he said, �is whether their class sizes will drop as we send more students.� As Pearl notes, Hooksett will very likely not send its entire high school class to the new school(s) immediately: those who already started at Central will be able to continue there, and many, especially upperclassmen likely will.
In other words, Hooksett�s presence at its new school(s) will grow incrementally as eighth-graders graduate year to year. With Hooksett attempting to end its contract with Manchester by 2014, that means they�ll only become fully integrated in 2018.
Londonderry High School has a capacity of 2,100 students, with 1,827 currently enrolled, leaving room for just under 300. Their seventh-, sixth-, fifth- and fourth-grade classes are 396, 339, 321 and 323 students respectively. Aggregating the class sizes in the district�s early grades and assuming they remain stable, in 2018 Londonderry High will have an enrollment of 1,379 students.
By the time Hooksett would have to place an entire high school population, Londonderry could theoretically have room for a little more than 700 students, potentially placing the total number of slots at 860 or 960.
Even if these numbers do play out, however, other factors will have to be taken into consideration: transportation, tuition costs, the possible loss of a single high school identity and community, etc. Pearl is hoping to host a public forum in February with parents to discuss these issues.
�I would like to bring the parents to the table once we have the numbers so that we can really all together kind of talk through this and see what the options are,� he said.
Hooksett has filed a formal notification of breach of contract with the Manchester School District, citing the city district�s chronic classroom overcrowding issues as cause. Should the breach be upheld, the letter cited 2014 as the year the contract would end.

The increase follows a drop of 22,000 the previous week. But the broader trend is consistent with an improving job market.
The four-week average, which smooths out weekly fluctuations, fell 1,250 to 345,250, according to the Labor Department.
Weekly applications data can be volatile in July. Automakers typically shut their factories the first two weeks of the month to prepare for new models, leading to temporary layoffs. But this year much of the industry has skipped or shortened the shutdowns to meet stronger demand.
Applications are a proxy for layoffs. They're down nearly 8 per cent this year. Employers have added an average 202,000 new jobs a month this year, up from an average 183,000 in 2012.
In June, employers added 195,000 jobs. The unemployment rate stayed at 7.6 per cent last month but is down from 8.2 per cent a year earlier.
Job growth has been solid despite lacklustre economic growth. Economists expect the economy grew at an annual rate of less than 1 per cent in the April-June quarter, even worse than an unimpressive 1.8 per cent the first three months of the year. Federal spending cuts that took effect in March have hobbled economic growth.
Still, some parts of the economy have proven resilient.
The U.S. housing recovery is strengthening, for example. Sales of newly built homes rose 8.3 per cent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 497,000, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. That's the highest since May 2008 and up from an annual rate of 459,000 in May.
Sales are still below the 700,000 pace consistent with healthy markets. But they are up 38 per cent in the past 12 months. That's the biggest annual gain since January 1992.
New-home sales make up only a small part of the market. But they have an outsize economic impact. Each home built creates an average of three new jobs and generates about $90,000 in tax revenue, according to data from the National Association of Home Builders

Los Angeles-based tuning group fifteen52 will use the Chicago auto show to introduce its TrackSTer, a performance concept based on the Ford Focus ST. The TrackSTer is part of a collaboration between Ford, fifteen52, and racer Ken Block called Project ST. There will be two other tuned Focuses that debut this year as part of Project ST.
This TrackSTer is designed to add track-ready performance while still being easy-going enough for street use. It includes a short-throw shifter and performance exhaust from Ford Racing, as well as a stronger clutch, larger brakes, and Quaife limited-slip differential all developed for the Focus ST-R race car program. On top of that, fifteen52 upgraded the Focus ST with forged internal components, a reflashed engine computer, and a larger intercooler from Monotune.
"Teaming up with fifteen52 for this project was an obvious choice for me," racing driver Ken Block said in a statement. "They've worked closely with both Ford Racing and Mountune to put together a potent package that blends on-road performance with on-track performance. I can't wait to actually get this car out on a track and put it through the paces."
It's unclear when or whether fifteen52 plans to put their TrackSTer on sale, or whether the parts will simply be sold for customers to install themselves. Despite introducing it at the show, the TrackSTer won't remain on display during public days of the Chicago auto show.
The standard Ford Focus ST (pictured below) has a 2.0-liter turbo-four engine with 252 hp, and uses a torque-vectoring system to quell under steer or wheel spin by applying the front brakes. Installing the aforementioned limited-slip differential, however, may negate the need for that electronic system.

"A pub landlady has won her court fight with the English Premier League over using a Greek TV decoder to screen games. Karen Murphy has paid nearly £8,000 in fines and costs for using the cheaper decoder in her Portsmouth pub to bypass controls over match screening. But she took her case to the European Court of Justice (ECJ: on which see the IPKat here).This Kat was most impressed with Karen Murphy's ability to discuss and explain the legal and factual background of the case as well as the effect of today's ruling. Indeed, her explanation compared favourably with that of most of the law students which he has had the pleasure of teaching in the past. But then, that's only to be expected. Everyone knows that English law students learn more in the friendly environment of a pub than they do from lectures, and Karen Murphy has spent far more time in bars than they have ...
It found partly in her favour, and now the High Court in London has also found in her favour.
The case has been closely watched [not by TV viewers, alas] as it could trigger a major shake-up in the way football TV rights are sold, and potentially pave the way to cheaper viewing of foreign broadcasts for fans of top-flight English games.
Ms Murphy has spent six years fighting a prosecution for showing live football at the Red White and Blue pub without a Sky subscription. Instead of using Sky, on which it costs £700 a month to see Premier League matches, she used the Greek TV station Nova, which has the rights to screen the games in Greece, and which cost her £800 a year.
She took her fight for the right to use the cheaper provider to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) which ruled in October 2011 that having an exclusive system was "contrary to EU law".
The High Court in London on Friday [in a judgment not available on BAILII at the time of posting this blog] ruled that Karen Murphy's appeal over using the decoder to bypass controls over match screening must be allowed.
But a judge made clear that the other complex issues regarding the wider legality of screening matches would have to be decided "at a later date". ...".
announcement that she has now obtained a court ruling in her favour. According to the BBC website:

Oh, come on Jeremy (c.f. sense of humour failure discussions, passim)
We know she is being briefed but good luck to her, it turns out shes's no pussy...
It's taking up a large chunk of her life. It's an important exploration of the relationship between IP rights (aka sanctioned monopolies) and competition law, as one or other of the Kats has discussed already.
And in all of that you missed the opportunity to suggest she was a barista, keep up...

PETA blasts Charlotte Church for eating reindeer
Welsh singer Charlotte Church has been blasted by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for eating reindeer meat on a trip to Iceland.
The Crazy Chick hitmaker revealed she and her boyfriend Jonathan Powell tucked in to a meal of reindeer carpaccio while on holiday in the country to write a travel feature.
Detailing the trip for British newspaper The Guardian, she writes, "(We) spent a hilarious evening over a beautiful and boozy meal of reindeer carpaccio."
But PETA bosses have hit back at Church's choice of cuisine, telling WENN, "Perhaps she will one day lift that beautiful voice on behalf of animals such as reindeer, who deserve to be seen as someone awe-inspiring, not something to be popped into your mouth."
During the trip, Church also watched as Powell ate puffin, minke whale and fermented shark meat.

The NuWave Oven can cook up to a 10 lb turkey or a 8 lb ham. It will cook up to 50% faster and uses up to 85% less energy energy than your conventional oven. You'll no longer have to waste time and money pre-heating your large oven, plus you can cook from frozen to fabulous, so there is no defrosting required. Foods cooked in the NuWave Oven are healthier, too. There are no additional fats or oils required, foods cook quickly and evenly, sealing the natural juices and removing more unwanted fats.
Features:I was sent the NuWave Oven Pro and the Extender Ring Kit. The Extender Ring Kit includes a 3" extender ring, a 10" non stick baking pan and a 2" cooking rack. The Extender Ring Kit increases the capacity of the oven by up to 50%, allowing it to cook up to a 16 lb turkey or a 14 lb ham. The 2 inch rack can be used on top of or below the 4 inch rack that comes with the oven. It allows you to do things like cook steaks on one layer and cook vegetables on another layer, saving both time and cleanup. I plan on purchasing addition 2 inch racks because you can use up to 2 extra ones which is especially perfect for dehydrating food.
- Cooks from frozen up to 50% faster
- It can Broil, Roast, Grill, Bake, Barbeque, Steam, Dehydrate and even Air-Fry
- Triple Combo Cooking Power (Conduction, Convection, Infrared)
- Reheat function for leftover foods
- Easy to operate digital control
- Adjustable power level settings from 1 to 10
- Light weight and compact - weighs only 10 pounds
- Outside dimension - 15.5 inches wide and 13.5 inches tall
- Inside dimension - 6.5 inches deep and 12 inches in diameter
- Only uses 1500 watts of power, 120 volts, 12.5 amps
- Eco-friendly dishwasher safe parts
- 1-Year Manufacturer's Warranty
It also came with a small cookbook,a stack of recipe cards, and an instructional video to give me and idea of the amazing things the NuWave Oven can do. There is also a chart which explains how long each type of food will take to cook. The chart shows cook time for fresh or frozen food.
I decided to make stuffed chicken for our first NuWave meal. When I read that it would only take 19 minutes(in comparison to the 40 minutes it takes in my regular oven), I was in shock. Much to my amazement, the chicken started to turn white after just a few minutes. I placed some of the stuffing on top of the chicken which got a little more done than I would have liked, so next time I will put aluminum foil over it to prevent that. In this picture you can also see the fat and grease that cooked off to the tray below, making the meal more healthy than if I would have cooked it in my oven.
My husband and I were thrilled with how perfect the chicken was cooked! It was extremely moist and tasted fantastic - and it only took 19 minutes!!!
Here is a quick explanation of all the NuWave Oven parts. One of my favorite features is that all of the parts(except the Power Head) is dishwasher safe - again, making clean-up a breeze!
I couldn't be more pleased with our NuWave Oven Pro. It is going to come in especially handy when baby girl arrives within the next 2 weeks. If I'm really pressed for time, all I have to do is throw in frozen meat and it will be a moist, healthy meal in just minutes!

With all the nuts in granola bars, finding a granola bar for someone with a nut allergy is a challenge! We have a dark chocolate cherry granola bar that we enjoy, but I wanted to try something different.
Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Granola Bars.
These are delightful! Very moist and chewy.
{Print Recipe}
3 1/4 C Old Fashioned Oats
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
pinch of ginger and cloves
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 C sweet potato puree {or pumpkin}
1/4 C applesauce
1/4 C honey
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 C dark chocolate chips
Mix together the oats, salt and spices in a large bowl.
Combine the sweet potato puree, applesauce, honey and vanilla in a medium sized bowl; whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients over the spiced oats and stir until moist.
Then, stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour the granola bar mix into a lightly greased 9x9 glass baking dish, or a 7x11 baking dish.
Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown on the edges.
These granola bars will be moist and chewy, so be sure to bake them until the edges are slightly browned.
Cool on a wire wrack for 10ish minutes, and then slice into bars. Cool completely.
Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days, and then in the fridge if you need to store them longer.

Misgivings Day Weekend is Coming Up!
Cool breeze, blue sky. Feels like fall. And it should, becaaaauuuuuuse....
It's that time of year again! Two years ago it was decided there needed to be a holiday weekend to mark the approach of Halloween. It is to Halloween what Thanksgiving is to Christmas.
"It takes place the 7th Sunday before Halloween, which means this coming weekend is Misgivings Day Weekend!
How to celebrate? Well that's easy. Eat as much fall fare (like pumpkin ale, trick or treat candy which is now on sale at the stores, pies both savoury and sweet) as humanly possible. Work on Halloween props, decor and projects. Watch horror movies and break out Halloween cartoons.
Been wondering if it's too early to decorate? No problem! It's Misgivings Day weekend, which means the Halloween season has officially begun. Do as you please. And if anyone asks why you're decorating so soon, just point to the calendar with an expression that clearly conveys a "duh" sentiment."
So make sure you pick up all your treats, supplies, and favourite flicks for the weekend. I know I will be working on props for this year's theme (soon to be announced)!
Ugh! And I already agreed to
Ugh! And I already agreed to help my sister finish painting her pasture fence this weekend. But she did offer up bribes of a bonfire & BBQ. I'm sure I can work something in there since I won't be at my own house!
